that without any hesitation. It is very surprising that

people had the least claim or a slightest doubt, they would
not have kept quiet all this time. I, therefore, decided
that according to proofs put forward about which you are
aware, that you would see that this their claim is useless
and they have no least connection with what they claim
nor there is any truth in their claim. I hope, that while
administering justice in the case, you will kindly consider
a way for settling this matter and putting a stop to this
dispute as the claim of the Bahrain people to my limits is
a mere step of encroachment and aggression. I am certain

About this item
- Content
File contains correspondence related to hostilities that occurred between the forces of Shaikh Abdullah bin Qassim Al Thani of Qatar and the Al Naim tribe that took place in June and July 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe was allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and did not intervene on their behalf. Hostilities ended in July 1937 and Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad, Chief of the Al Naim tribe, agreed to recognise the rule of the Al Thani family over Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. .
The file also contains a map of Qatar (folio 164) and four aerial photographs of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. (folios 160-163).
